Players met with children, took photos and played games. They were not able to visit patients in their rooms because of the flu restrictions that went into effect Dec. 10, so instead they used the studio space to broadcast throughout the hospital.

Some patients, including Sophia Lopez, 5, were able to come into the studio and enjoy the afternoon with the players.Sophia first underwent a bone marrow operation at 10 weeks old. The operation resulted in complications and she’s been receiving radiation treatments ever since.

The treatments have damaged her cells and stunted her growth, which might explain why she loves things that are giant.

Sophia was thrilled to meet 6-foot, 8-inch defensive end Margus Hunt.

Defensive back Leon Hall and wide receiver Marvin Jones also took part in the visit.

“I have two kids and another on the way in a few weeks and anytime I can come and do this type of thing, come out and put a smile on their face and interact and talk to them, it’s a good deal,” Jones said.
